Prosecutors are determined to ‘corry on'

By DONALD M. ROTHBERG
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Members of the special Watergate
prosecution force remained determined Sunday to
carry on their investigation of the Watergate scandal
despite a presidential order abolishing their office.

Nearly all the attorneys are expected to stay on with
the Justice Department, a prosecution spokesman
said.

"WE ARE HERE and we are a criminal prosecution
force and we have reason to believe serious crimes
have been committed and we are going to prosecute,"
James S. Doyle, spokesman for the office, told
newsmen.

The President announced Saturday night that he had
fired Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox and
abolished his office’s standing as an entity virtually
independent of the Justice Department.

Within 30 minutes of the White House announcement,
FBI agents appeared at the prosecution force offices
and prohibited the staff from removing any
documents, including personal papers, from their files.

THE AGENTS WERE withdrawn at mid-day Sunday
and security was returned to government guards. But
the restrictions on removal of documents continued.

Doyle said the staff met late last night and agreed
unanimously to appear for work next week, when they
would be Justice Department employes.

Doyle said he had talked by telephone with Cox and
that the former special prosecutor was in excellent
spirits.

III-I SAID IIE knew of no one other than Cox who had

been fired but added that “some people higher up will
have some difficult decisions to make."

Acting Atty. Gen. Robert H. Bork said Sunday that
he will announce his decision on the future of the
Watergate prosecutions and investigation on Tuesday.

And at the White House a spokesman said he
assumed “there would be a period of transition“ but
that whether all the employes of the former
prosecution force would be kept on at the Justice
Department would have to be decided by department
officials.

EARLIER. IN AN interview, deputy special
prosecutor Henry Ruth said he thought the Watergate
prosecution would be pursued vigorously in the Justice
Department by Assistant Atty. Gen. Henry E.
Petersen.

“I happen to think Henry Petersen would proceed
vigorously if he is allowed to do so," said Ruth.

But itwas clear Ruth doubted Petersen would be in a
position to press the White House for evidence in its
files the way Cox had done.

“My efforts to get information, beginning in May,
have been the subject of repeated frustration," Cox
told a news conference Saturday.

“THE PROBLEM is unique because nearly all the
evidence bearing not only on the Watergate incident
and the alleged cover-up but on the activities of the
‘plumbers‘ and other things of that kind. is in the White
House papers in files.

“And unless you have access to those, you‘re not able
to get the normal kind of information that a prosecutor

must seek."

Cox made it clear that the problem went far beyond
the nine tapes that were the subject of the immediate
confrontation between him and the President.

IN FACT. the importance of that confrontation may
have been the precedent Cox sought to establish rather
than the contents of the recordings.

The President opposed such a precedent most
strongly in his legal arguments, fearing prosecutors
could gain access to other tapes as well as memoranda
and notes.

There was no indication that many people on Cox’s
staff thought the nine tapes would provide conclusive
evidence that the President knew of or participated in
the effort to thwart the Watergate investigation.

THE PRESIDENT told the Watergate committee
last July that the tapes supported his version of the
conversations though he conceded that some remarks
might be misinterpreted.

An ousted White House counsel John W. Dean III told
the committee only that those meetings had left him
with the impression the President knew of the cover-up
but he could cite no comment by Nixon that would be
hard evidence that his impression was correct.

Nixon has yielded on the tapes issue to the point of
allowing Sen. John C. Stennis. D-Miss., to listen to the
nine tapes and verify that a presidential summary
includes all the Watergate related portions.

Bl'T ll.-\l) NIXON allowed Cox to have those tapes,
he would have established a precedent under which the
prosecutor would have demanded evidence for his
other investigations. including the ITT antitrust set-
tlement and \‘iolationsnf campaign contribution laws.

Impeachment

Richard Nixon has laid his cards on the table; now it is up
to the Congress and the American people to decide if the
President’s latest action has served to deal him into im-
peachment proceedings.

Nixon’s firing of Archibald Cox, Watergate special
prosecutor, the resignation of Attorney General Elliot
Richardson, and the firing of Richardson’s deputy William
Ruckelshaus is the latest spectacular event which has
shocked the country. It is not the first, and it is unlikely to be
to be the last. It could be, however, the straw which finally
breaks the back of a country woefully sick of scandal and a
dictatorial President.

Nixon’s dogmatic stance on the tapes brings to mind a
quote from Shakespeare: “Methinks he doth protest too
much.” Why is Nixon so paranoid about release of these
tapes? Could it be his concern is not over executive
privilege, but instead that information contained on the
tapes could prove Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate
break-in or the resultant cover-up.

Whether one believes Nixon guilty, the fact remains the
world’s problems call for a President who can deal from the
strength of citizen loyalty. Nixon is the most unpopular
President in American history; this fact is manifested when
Nixon attempts to deal with the world outside our shores.

The detente with the Soviet Union and the overtures with
China may go for naught. Just how much stock can these
countries place 1n Nixon’s word, if it seems he may not be
around to keep his agreements?

How can Nixon effectively deal for a Mideast cease fire, it
he hasn’t the backing of the American people or a govern-
ment that can be trusted?

Whether Nixon is indeed guilty of Watergate-related
crimes will be learned in time, regardless of the disposition
of the tapes. What matters now, and matters most to the
American people, is the running of the country.

It is paramount that the people speak out to their elected
Representatives. Write, wire or call senators Huddleston
and Cook, representatives Breckinridge and Perkins, and
others. Tell them the country is more important than
Richard Nixon. Tell them to work for Nixon’s impeachment
and the return of America to its people and its laws.

Pleased with band

Editor's note: This letter was reprinted
from the Indiana Daily Student.

I was greatly impressed Sept. 29 at the
IU-Kentucky football game with the
University of Kentucky BAND. It was
almost a shock to the central nervous
system to be entertained by a band at an
IU football game.

For the past four years I have become
quite accustomed to seeing the backs of
the Marching Hundred, which seems to
have outgrown its name, hearing a faint
sound bouncing off the billfolds of the
alumni, and reading upside sown. I guess
that if I haven’t learned anything else at
IU, I’ve learned to read upside down.

I hope that IU encourages more visiting
teams to bring their bands. I like to be
entertained also.

Quiz silly

The people against the proposed Red
River Gorge project would do well to ask
Mr. Walls‘ to deny any association with

them or at least ask him to keep his silly
quizzes (such as the one in the Kernel Oct.
18, page 3) to himself

The cheap shots at the Corps of
Engineers were, I hope, written in an
emotional frenzy and do not reflect Mr.
Walls' mentality. The good that the Corps
of Engineers has done can be seen in their
designing and building dams where the
dams are actually needed. The Corps has
also been active in other areas, e.g.
building a clinic at the Applachian
Regional Hospital in South Williamson,
Ky.

Also, the quiz is insulting to those who,
for one reason or another, sincerely feel
the dam would be beneficial . For them to
be arbitrarily classified with
ignoramouses and moral degenerates is a
low blow, unworthy of being printed.

I have never been to Red River Gorge
but I understand it is a very beautiful
place, and beautiful places are becoming
hard to find. To my regret, I don’t know
enough about the project to be for or
against it. However, I do know that
ridiculous inane quizzes like Mr. Walls’
can only hurt his cause.

Archibald Cox: unwelcome, unemployed

By WALTER R. MEARS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — From the outset,
Archibald Cox was an unwelcome official
of the administration he set out to in-
vestigate.

 

An AP News Analysis

 

President Nixon clearly did not want a
special prosecutor assigned to Watergate
in the first place. He yielded amid an
administration crisis—and now faces
another over his firing of Cox.

A source familiar with the events that
led to the ouster of Cox said Sunday there
was evidence of White House displeasure
with the special prosecutor long before the
confrontation over access to White House
tape recordings.

(‘OX HIMSELF said he had faced
frustration and delay in his efforts to get
information from the White House.

Administration sources denied,

however, that there had been pressure to
get Cox out of the government before he

spoke in defiance of a Nixon order to stop
court action aimed at obtaining the tapes.

In the end, Nixon acted to demonstrate
his mastery of the executive branch
despite concessions made earlier in the
year to deal with other Watergate woes.

But if it was hard for the White House to
live with Democrat Cox, it may be even
more difficult now to live with a Congress
in which there is increasing discussion of
an impeachment move against the
President.

ON THE LEGAL side, that talk stems
from charges, disputed by Nixon men, that
the President is in violation of a court
order to yield up the tapes for judicial
inspection.

And on the political side, it involves prior
administration agreement to the ap-
pointment of an unfettered special
prosecutor for Watergate cases.

The White House position now is that
Nixon was not a party to such agreements.

THE RECORD ON that issue dates back
to the Watergate woes Nixon faced last
spring. There was pressure on Capitol Hill
for an independent prosecutor to handle

the entire range of cases arising out of
Watergate.

On April 30, Nixon announced the
resignations of two top aides, H.R.
Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, and of
Atty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindeinst. He
fired John W. Dean III as White House
counsel.

Hours later, in a nationally televised
address, he named Elliot L. Richardson to
become attorney general. He said
Richardson would have absolute authority
to make all decisions bearing on the
Watergate prosecution, and added:

“I HAVE instructed him that if he should
consider it appropriate, he has the
authority to name a special supervising
prosecutor for matters arising out of the
case."

That was a concession, for it had been
made clear earlier that the White House
did not want such an official added to the
“Watergate lineup.

On May 1, congressional sentiment in
favor of a special prosecutor was tran-
-Nixon to appoint such a man.

NIXON'S REACTION reportedly was

one of anger at the pressure and at Sen.
Charles H. Percy, R-Ill., who had spon-
sored the resolution.

Richardson won Senate confirmation as
attorney general only after naming Cox to
be special prosecutor and promising to let
him do the job without restrictions.

“The attorney general will not coun-
termand or interfere with the special
prosecutor’s decisions or actions,”
Richardson pledged. “ ..... The special
prosecutor will not be removed from his
duties except for extraordinary im-
proprieties on his part.”

WITH THAT PLEDGE on the Senate
record, Richardson resigned Saturday
night rather than carry out Nixon's order
to fire Cox.

Nixon 5 order was implemented by
Robert H. Bork, who became acting at-
torney general as the highest ranking
Justice Department official willing to do
as the President bid.

So ended five uneasy months with Cox in
the role of special prosecutor.

AND SO BEGAN a new crisis for Nixon
and for Congress.

  

Bork to decide
investigation '5
future course

By MARGARET GENTRY kid-2

Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Acting Atty. Gen. Robert H. Bork will
announce his decision Tuesday on the future course of the
Watergate investigation, the Justice Department said

Sunday.

Bork reached his decision after meeting with top depart- -
ment officials, including Assistant Atty. Gen. Henry E.
Peterson, a day after taking command of a shaken depart-

ment.

THERE WAS NO immediate indication of the course he

had chosen.

The department faces the possibility of mass resignations
after its two top officials resigned rather that break a

promise.

A knowledgeable source reported that Petersen himself
may consider resigning, a move he contemplated earlier this
year before Richardson became attorney general. .'.:.'

SOURCES REPORTED that a number of others were ,‘ ' '
weighing the possibility as a demonstration of support for ' ' ° °
Elliot L. Richardson, who resigned Saturday night rather
than bow to Nixon’s command to fire special Watergate
prosecutor Archibald Cox. William D. Ruckelshaus was fired
as deputy attorney general after refusing the same order.

Solicitor General Bork then became acting attorney
general and carried out Nixon’s order.

Eight top advisers to Richardson and Ruckelshaus already
have resigned. Other top officials are reported to have told
Richardson they intend to do so though he has urged them to

stay.

THE DISCUSSIONS with Petersen were believed to in-
volve the future course of the Watergate investigation,
returned to the Justice Department after Nixon
disbanded Cox’s special prosecution force.

Petersen complained when the Watergate investigation
was taken before from his criminal division, but department
sources said he now has serious doubts about taking it back
under the restrictions Nixon imposed.

One knowledgeable source said it seemed likely that Bork,
political conservative and longtime Nixon supporter, would
fire a number of the more liberal department officials.

FOR RICHARDSON and Ruckelshaus, it was a quiet
Sunday for tennis and fishing and talking with close friends
about the rapid turn of events which forced them from an
administration they had supported unswervingly.

Richardson prepared for a news conference Tuesday to
discuss why he felt that firing Cox would have violated his
promise to Congress to guarantee the prosecutor a free hand.

Kentucky politicians have mixed reactions

By RON MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

KENTUCKY POLITICIANS expressed
mixed reactions Sunday concerning the
firings of special Watergate prosecutor
Archibald Cox and Deputy Attorney
General William Ruckelshaus, and the
resignation of Attorney General Elliot
Richardson.

Democratic Gov. Wendell Ford issued a
statement labeling the Saturday actions
“a tragic turn of events” and re-
emphasized his earlier support of Cox.

Cox being fired proved “the Nixon ad-
ministration’s appointment of an in-
dependent special prosecutor has been
proven fraudulent,” Ford said.

FORD. WHO IS chairman of the
National Democratic Governors Caucus,
said “impartiality and independence have
been denied both Cox and this country."

Sen. Walter “Dee” Huddleston,
Democrat, said the events are “both
startling and shocking. I think the
President’s actions show disregard for
pledges originally made concerning
special prosecutor Cox."

Huddleston, who was relaxing at the
Kentucky Dam State Park near Paducah,
said it is “unfortunate the President was

WASHINGTON (AP) - Here is a list of House members who

unwilling to work out a compromise with
Cox and Atty. Gen. Richardson.”

“THESE EVENTS COULD have very
serious consequences,” he added.

Not all of those contacted criticized the
President, as three prominent politicians
saw justification for the action.

Former Gov. Albert B. Chandler said he
thought the compromise reached between
Nixon, Senate Watergate Committee
chairman Sen. Sam Ervin and co-
chairman Howard Baker was
“reasonable."

“THEY HAVE DONE a great harm to
the country in prolonging this thing. They
ought to find those who are guilty, throw
them in jail and get on with the business of
running the country," the Versailles
Democrat said Sunday afternoon.

 

Chandler served two terms as Kentucky
governor, from 1935-39 and 1955-59.

Chandler said the “whole thing could
have been settled by now if they left it up to
Nixon, Ervin and Baker." Ervin, D-N.C.,
and Baker, R-Tenn., had reached a
compromise earlier on how the Nixon
Watergate tapes should be released. Cox
disagreed with the compromise.

The problem began. Chandler said,
when "Nixon put Cox in with unlimited
powers and he thought he was God
almighty. He's not that powerful yet.“ He
said suggestions of impeachment are
“foolish, idle talk."

ANOTHER FORMER governor,
Lexington attorney Louie Nunn, said he
needs more facts before taking a stand but
added he ”can see both sides of the issue."

”I have seen the news media side of it

and I have seen Cox '5 side of it. I want to
hear Nixon ‘5 side before I makea decision.
I might add, however, I don't think the
President can have people in his ad-
ministration who defy him," the
Republican said.

State Republican Party Chairman
Charles Coy, a Richmond attorney, said
Nixon had attempted to make a “good
faith compromise with the Senate Select
Committee and orders of the court."

“I AM AMAZED at the attitude that he

(Nixon) has done something wrong when
he was only trying to comply with the

court," he said.
Cox forced Nixon to fire him, Coy said,

and Richardson's resignation was “what
he had to do under the circumstances."

The state Republican party central
committee did not feel the issue important
enough to call a special meeting, he said,
and noted his comments are indicative of
the other committee members.

COY LABELED impeachment
procedures as “premature".

“I don't think you impeach someone on
the word of the press or by complying with
orders of the court, which is all Nixon has
done," he said.

Because of the Veterans' Day weekend,
other Congressmen and political leaders
could not be reached for comment.

Energy demands grow

while resources less

Ry LES WILLIAMS
Kernel Staff Writer
Commissioner Damon W.
Harrison of the Kentucky
Department of Commerce. spoke
on energy problems as part of the
William M. Reed seminar series
at the College of Engineering

Thursday.

Harrison began by pointing out
that the United States, having
only about six per cent of the
world‘s population, and con-
suming 33 per cent of the world ‘5
energy, is “the most energy-
related country in the world."

THE GREATER DEMAND for
energy each year, created by our
growth in output and population.
has created energy problems
which Harrison believes has now
put this country in “an energy
dilemma." He added that
“tomorrow the dilemma might
well be a crisis.”

Harrison explained this
summer there was no gasoline
shortage, only because refineries
were producing at rates which
cannot be sustained indefinitely.

Stressing the increased ex-
ploration for oil sources and
construction of refineries as the
long term solution, Harrison
suggested the only short term
solution is to increase our supply

of fuel through the import of
refinery products.

He predicted that in 25 years,
solar energy will have been
developed to the point of efficient
use, but until then we must make
good use of our existing supplies
and capacities.

T0 COPE WITH the energy
situation, Harrison said, citizens
will have to curtail their use of
energy. He stated he believes this
involves changing our life style.

“We are going to have to an-
swer some hard questions," he
said. “How much are we willing
to cut back our energy demand?
Will we allow drilling on public
owned land and push ahead with
the Alaskan pipeline? Will we
strive for full utilization of coal
resources? These and other
decisions must come soon."

Harrison expressed his con-
fidence in the American people in
light of this problem feeling that,
given the full facts, the would
respond positively.

COMMENTING ON the
present energy situation in
Kentucky, Harrison termed it
“not comfortable." He indicated
that natural and propane gas
supplies are short, while coal and
electricity are adequate. He also

en

"" 9,85 ' 1%;

DAMON W. HARRISON

said that, unless Kentucky has a
bad winter, everything should
work out.

Touching on the seriousness of
the energy problem as a whole,
Harrison predicted that the way
in which we solve the conflicts
between energy and growth will
be “a factor in the destiny of this
country."

{Strip-mining bill to raise prices
:and protect environment

By RON MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer
The recent strip-mine control

kill small coal operators, the
Kentucky commissioner for
natural resources and en-
vironmental protection said
Friday. It is an attempt,
however, to provide a balance
between protecting the en-
vironment and getting coal out of
the ground.

“I can’t say that the bill is
going to stop strip mining, but
there are some people it is going
to stop,” commissioner Thomas
Harris remarked. “And this sort
of hurts me when we cut out the
smaller people."

HARRIS WAS one of three
participants in a Friday press
conference held in advance of the
third annual Energy Resources
Conference.

Also on the program were
George Evans, president of
Beaver Creek Consolidated Coal
Division of National Mines
Corporation and UK College of
Engineering Dean James E.
Funk.

The commissioner said the cost
of following strict mining
regulations will be handed down
to the consumers because “these
people (operators) are not going
to take this (any extra costs) out
of their profits and earnings."

“THE (‘ITIZENRY and people
of 'his state and other states
where this coal is going—they are
going to have to pay for it
because it is going to be added on
the price of coal,” he added.

Harris traced the reason for the
current energy shortage to “too
much nuclear energy research by
the federal government.”

“I think President Nixon
realizes nuclear power is not
coming through as projected," he
said. “The most optimistic
projection we now have is that
nuclear power will be able to
supply only 25 per cent of our
energy needs in 1985.”

Harris said Kentucky has
“some catching up to do” in coal
research but added “we are on
the right track with recent ap-
propriations by Governor
(Wendell) Ford."

Funk said synthetic crude oil
made from coal is “more ex-
pensive than buying it on the open
market" but we will be forced
into producing the substance in
the near future.

“It will be five to 10 years
before a viable economical
process for producing synthetic
crude oil is found,” said Funk,
who is also director of the In-
stitute of Mining and Mineral
Resources.

The Wednesday and Thursday
Energy Resources Conference,
co-sponsored by the College of
Engineering and several state
and national coal organizations
will be held at the Student Center.

Harris, Funk and Evans will be
participants in the conference as
will Sen. Walter “Dee" Hud-
dleston; Fred Luigart, president,
Kentuck; Coal Association;
Damon Harrison, Kentucky
commissioner of commerce;
John Seigenthaler, publisher,
Nashville Tennessean; and
numerous state and national coal
and oil authorities.

Arabs reduce more
all shipments to States

BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP)
Kuwait and Qatar became the
latest Arab nations to announce a
ban on all oil shipments to the
United States, taking the action
Sunday in continued Arab
retaliation for US. support of
Israel in the Middle East war.

In another development, Iraq
said Sunday that Arab countries
should nationalize all US.
economic interests—including oil
companies—which are operating
within their boundaries.

The tiny sheikdom of Bahrain
also officially announced it was
cutting off oil exports to the
United States, but oil sources in

Beirut said Bahrain sends all its
daily oil production of 68,000
barrels to Europe and Japan.

A commentary broadcast by
the Iraqi state radio said the
halting of US. oil imports from
Arab countries was “the bare
minimum the Arabs can do.”

“But if the Arabs really want to
hurt the United States and use oil
as a weapon in the Middle East
war, they should nationalize
America's entire economic in-
terests, including oil companies,
throughout the Arab world,” the
radio said.

Iraq has not announced any
production cutbacks of its own.

Costume show tells
evolution of man

By KAREN KAMALICH
Kernel Staff Writer
Man’s evolution through
costumes will be depicted in a
fashion show sponsored by the
College of Home Economics.
The show will be held free of
charge for the general public on
Monday, Oct. 22, in the
Agricultural Science Center
auditorium.

The presentation is a combined
effort of the history of costume
and economics of clothing
classes. The purpose of the show
is educational endeavor as well
as to interest the public in the
existence of the collection of
costumes the college has ac-
cumulated, stated Mrs. B.
Eastin, associate professor of
home economics.

MOST OF THE collection was
donated by Cherry Ross from
Monroeville, 0. Ross is an
authority on the history of
costume and has made a name
for herself in historical pagentry.

Dr. Hambleton Tapp, assistant
director and editor of the Ken-
tucky Historical Society was
instrumental in securing the
collection for the college.

Approximately 45 costumes
will be modeled by 15 students.
Other costumes, student
projects and a number of
displays will also be exhibited in
the foyer of the auditorium.

DIANE SMATHERS. a
graduate teaching assistant, has
coordinated the production. The
fashion show consists of three
scenes. The first scene involves
the beginning of mankind. Skins
and togas will be worn to typify
this period.

Included in the second scene
are costumes dating from the
15th and 16th centuries. They
consist of Greek and Roman
medieval dress.

Concluding the show is the
largest scene, consisting of dress
from the 17th century to the
present. Many costumes in the
final scene are authentic.

Student code revision
receives weok response

Although the deadline for
submitting student code revision
proposals is Friday, there has
been very little response from
students and faculty, according
to Robert Zumwinkle, vice
president for student affairs.

Any proposals submitted
before 5 p.m. Friday will be
considered by the nine-member
Student Code Revision Com-
mittee established by President
Otis Singletary several weeks
ago.

THE COMMITTEE, consisting
of three students, three faculty
members and three ad-
. ministrators, has the respon-
sibility of screening all proposed
revisions.

After screening the revisions,
the committee will report its
recommendations to Singletary,
who will forward them along with
his personal recommendations to
the Board of Trustees for formal
acfion.

A brief outline of procedures
for submitting proposals was sent

Oct. 9 to all student
organizations, residence hall
presidents, faculty members and
administrators.

“THIS is THE only opportunity
this academic year for members
of the UK community to submit
proposals for code revision. Any
interested individual (student,
faculty or staff) or organization
or administrative unit in the
University community may
make such a submission to the
committee,” Zumwinkle said in
outlining the procedures.

Proposals may be submitted by
letter, memorandum or by ob-
taining a special form from
Zumwinkle’s office (529 Office
Tower). The proposals should be
sent to his office and include the
name of the individual or
organization, an address and
telephone number.

During the week of Nov. 5 all
proposals submitted will be
printed verbatim in the Kernel
and open hearings will begin the
week of Nov. 12.
